I have used modified Poisson regression models with robust error variance to estimate the prevalence ratio (PR) and to determine which demographic factors were associated with exposure to fish.
The prevalence of exposure to fish among the people who completed to survey is low, e.g. 2% of the respondents are exposed to fish. This data from a cross-sectional based study.
I have run the following command:
glm b04fish_new i.gender i.edugrp ib12.occgrp , fam(poisson) link(log) nolog vce(robust) eform
In the results it indicate that “convergence not achieved” and this only happen when I add “occgroup” variable to the model, which is a catergorical variable having 27 catogries that represent the job held by the respondents.
I am using stata14
Any suggestion on how to fix this. Thanks.
